New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Bull Hill
Building work can leave a mess behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We survey replacement roofs, new-build homes and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about tiles or slates sitting out of line and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
In a village or hamlet like Bull Hill, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a small place like Bull Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photos.
Before the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave side gates unlocked

What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter to carry water off. We check it where it is visible.
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so the detailing matters. We check the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
Common questions in Bull Hill
Will you come out to Bull Hill?
Yes, Bull Hill is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bull Hill?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Buying a home or a new roof in Bull Hill
Bull Hill is within about 2 miles of the coast, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, and loose ridges, slates and tiles are the first to lift in a gale, which is worth knowing before you buy or pay for new work. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
For landlords with property near Lymington Town station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. Take an older house close to Saint Nicholas Chapel: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. With Beaulieu Palace House about 3.9 miles north-east, the area around Bull Hill has a long history. If you’re buying an older home nearby, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before you plan any re-roofing.

- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
